Yup. Old fashioned melodies make up 'Bhagyadha Balegaara'. Don't expect a Valmiki though. The story seems to be that of a bangle vendor and the songs have a lot of folk flavor. The tunes, especially the charanams, have the trademark Raja twist and turn. I found this a very satisfying album.
gganesh,
No one, just no one, can conjure up the charanam of 'Kooda Varuviya', except Raja. I am quite certain about this. The amazing transition to Kalyani and the melodic quotient going up as the charanam progresses are trademark Raja. So whatever be the 'sound', the tune is unmistakably Raja.
yes that is how IR get inspired from new MDs :wink:Quote:

gganesh/suresh,
Adha post panrakku munnadi yosichen indha amdhiri sarchai varumnu. I don't think Thamizhvaanan's comment is a negative one at all.
It need or need not even be a case of consciously 'inspired' or whatever. Its just that i get a Rahmanesque feel when i listen to the song. Maybe not throughout the song but i think its there (pallavi, 2nd interlude etc.) Rajasaranam, TV-kum appadi thonirukku.
Late 70s la sila Raaja paadalgal la MSV feel varra madhiri.
Which is better, which we like more, thats immaterial and thats not what i wished to start here. It just felt kind of different, and definitely a positive feeling :)
P.S: One of my most favorite Rahman songs "Kadhalenum Thervezhudhi" - i find bits of Raaja in there...
Any links for 'Bhagyadha Balegaara' ?
Varum. They have done some encoding which doesnt allow us to RIP the CD. Iam doing a research now :)Quote:

And Finally I too managed to Rip :)
The original CD is encoded in 128 Kbps Only. The above links have 320 Kbps! I think they have reencoded from CD that is why there is some noise in those links. Fine let me not bore you with technicalities:) here is my Link http://www.mediafire.com/?hxmdzofiynf
Enjoy!
It seems Maestro has set tune to two traditional songs, in Bhagyadha Balegaara.
CR,
I did not think your comments or Tamizh's comments are negative. What I wanted to point out was the fact that even if the 'sounds' sounded like the modern MDs and the tune itself was 'new' as a Raja tune, there are some characteristics of a Raja tune which this song has. What I pointed out was this similarity. The way the melody is built up in the charanam and the way the smooth transition is done to Kalyani ragam after the second line of the charanam are agmark Raja trademarks. I have no issues if the song sounds 'Rahmanesque' or 'Yuvan Rajaish' :)I cannot mistake this tune to be anyone else other than Raja.
I don't have any issues of any MD being influenced by any other MD as long as that influence is turned into something more original!! All said and done, I love the 'Kooda Varuviya' song very much.
